Find Ancestors

Can't find it on here or FreeBMD. I'm pressuming that it took place around 1915 to 1930 based on birth of a child John Wenlock in 1924.

For ref

Births Mar 1924 (>99%)
Wenlock John Wycherley W. Bromwich 6b 1470

I'm hoping it's mistranscribed and someone with a wildcard elsewhere might have some luck.

Thanks.Jill

ps. Hoping I've not had a daft moment; stinking cold and been outside working all day affecting the brain cells.

Seems the births started a little earlier than 1924!

Births Mar 1920 Wenlock Howard Wycherley W.Bromwich 6b 2010
Births Jun 1922 Wenlock Susannah Wycherley W.Bromwich 6b 1513
Births Mar 1924 Wenlock John Wycherley W. Bromwich 6b 1470
Births Mar 1926 Wenlock Gwendoline Wycherley W. Bromwich 6b 1338

:-D

Well as the birth is post WW1 it may be that the bride had been married before so wouldn't marry as Wycherley.

Your best bet would to get the birth cert to see the parents names

An unsourced tree on ancestry has Gwendoline Wenlock b 1925, daughter of John Edward Wenlock b1902 and Louisa Wycherley b 5 Dec 1900

(not seeing a birth for Louisa that fits)

Thanks for the births T. I hadn't bothered to look for any siblings as my friend today was wondering where the family originated from. So I was just going for a direct line back. I'll add the info to what I give him though.

Shirley. That's something I hadn't thought of. Will work on that as a definite possibility. Thanks.

Thank you both. JE

I wouldn't trust the info on that ancestry tree, they have John Edward b 1902 West Bromwich but I think this death is for that birth record:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1915

Hi MC.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find enough to support this being the couple I'm after. And it is relevent to what T found for me. At least having her name, I might be able to find a possible previous marriage.J

Thanks MC. Another Ancestry tree. Another work of fiction it would seem. That's why I'm only going to bare it in mind.J

This is interesting though:

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1919
Sheldon Louisa Wenlock W.Bromwich 6b 2065
Wenlock John Sheldon W. Bromwich 6b 2065

Just a possibility that she was born as one name but known as another (mother's remarriage, etc?)

I wonder?

snap!

Well the area is right and the time period would fit.

So why the difference in the name?

I can't think straight about this.

Going to see if I can find a connection for Louisa Sheldon.

Thanks MC.

Edit And thanks Catherine :-D

There is also this:-

There is a marriage in 1909 for a Louisa Wycherley. One groom is missing. A possibility...

Oh you are all too good to me. I am so struggling. I can't even pull up the 1911. I've just finished my hot choc and am warm for the first time in hours.

Thanks for the help. I'll come back to this when my brains are intact. We have the sneeze orchestra in our house right now. I need a bath and the luxury of some decent sleep.

Sometimes life is just too, too complicated. :-S :-S :-S

Thanks lovely ladies. <3 <3
